A e `25 ',The' invention consists as a new article of f manufacture of a craped paperof any desired V i color,-shade,or"`tint,or combination thereof, 4

having arnultiplicity of crystal-like particles incorporated therein,f and, 'by reason ofthe 3o crimpings of thepaper, being exposed atdii'-v erent angles for the above-statedeect.

In thedrawings, A represents in an exag- 4c *gerated manner the craped tissue-paper, a'

vindicating the crimpings or crinkles,a nd b .representing the multiplieityof particles of Vmineral crystals, such as flakes of -mica\,.so ,incorporated in the paper, and owing to the thinness of the paper such particles are visible atthe surface and for the most part they have, as to some Substantialportion thereof; positions external of the tissue.

The aspect of thepaper is greatly enhanced, and the paper vavailable for the making of lamp-shades, fancy ornamental articles, trim minge, and decorations becomes of greatlyincreased value and attractiveness because of its new characteristic and capability;` of giving the effects herein above ou t1ined,which ordinaryrcrape paper has not' possessed-or been capable of. i l Having thus described Vour invention, what We claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-. i

As a new article of manufacture, a crape paper having a multiplicity of crystal-like mineral `particles incorporated therein, and which',by reason of the crimpingof the pa- 65 per, are exposed at different angles toem'it successions of lcoruscations either when the paper is viewed from diierent points, or is moved.
